"The present commemorative volume is put together by scholars and students
connected with Professor A. K. Narain (AK) as token of appreciation for his scholarly
contribution. Divided into three board sections, namely History and Culture: Region,
Sources, Connections and inter-actions, Perspectives in South Asian Art and Aesthetics;
and Probings into Buddhism in India and Abroad, the volume covers a wide range of themes
and attempts to link local with global. These echo with AK's vision and concerns and
provide fresh and diverse readings on various issues in ancient South Asian history and
its connections with the `other'."
